The Henyard. 
THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
T HE seventh ^veek of the contest shows 
a drop in egg production to 1,492. 
As this was the year that Columbus 
discovered America, perhaps the hens 
were celebrating that event, but the out¬ 
put was 12 dozen less than the previous 
week. We have had rain, snow, ice, 
storm, etc., this week ; making conditions 
unfavorable for comfort of the fowls; 
and hens will not lay well if they are un¬ 
comfortable. Mere cold, if the sun shines 
brightly, and there is no strong wind 
does not seem to affect the fowls very 
much. Prof. Elford, of McDonald College, 
Canada, told us in a lecture delivered in 
Hartford, Conn., a few years ago, that he 
had seen the thermometer marking 30 de¬ 
grees below zero in the henhouses at the 
College and the hens laying fairly well. 
I have no doubt the professor told the 
truth, but I don’t believe the fowls were 
Leghorns or Minorcas. Edward Cam’s 
English Wyandottes are first again this 
week. They are walking away from all 
the other pens at a great rate. Their 
score this week is 43, last week it was 
42. Their total score of 286, is 54 eggs 
ahead of any other pen. N. W. Hendryx’s 
White Leghorns are second, with a score 
of 38, and Colonial Farms R. I. Reds 
are third with 37. Frank L. Tuttle’s 
Barred Rocks tie with Neale Bros.’ 
White Wyandottes for fourth place, each 
scoring 36. Six pens did not produce an 
egg this week. 
The method of feeding has been altered 
somewhat. The dry mash is fed in hop¬ 
pers to which the birds have access at 
all times. The scratch feed is fed as fol¬ 
lows : When the attendant goes through 
and unlocks in the morning each pen is 
given a handful of grain ; in the middle 
of the forenoon another handful is given, 
and again at about 1 o’clock. The ob¬ 
ject of this is to keep the birds off the 
roost and working. The heavy feed of 
five or six handfuls to each pen, is given 
between 3 and 4 o’clock, or ns late as 
they can see to clean it tip before dark. 
The amount fed varies with the breed and 
whether they are laying or not. The 
week’s score follows:

GEO. A. COSGROVE. 
Limberneck and Loss of Feathers. 
I N a note from Prof. E. L. Andrews of 
the Poultry Department of the West 
Virginia Experiment Station, my at¬ 
tention is called to the statement on page 
3120 that limberneck does not cause loss 
of feathers. Prof. Andrews says that 
eases of ptomaine poisoning coming un¬ 
der his observation have shown this symp¬ 
tom ; loss of feathers. Ptomaine poison¬ 
ing, or the poisoning caused by eating 
putrid meat, is the supposed cause of the 
rather common affection known as lim- 
berneck, the disease getting its name from 
the paralysis of the muscles of the neck. 
As would be expected, limberneck is more 
common in warm weather and warm cli¬ 
mates where fowls can most easily ob¬ 
tain access to some decaying carcass 
Tiie Hen’s Fireless Cooker. —As a 
suggestion for those who cook their feed : 
I use a box large enough to hold five gal¬ 
lon stone crocks, packed tightly with 
sawdust, the sawdust protected by half¬ 
inch layer of concrete on top. An as¬ 
bestos mat in bottom, a zinc covered 
board on top of each, a tin vessel for food 
and a plate of flat iron heated on stove 
completes outfit. Two thin (so they will 
dry out quickly) bed ticking cushions 
between crocks and lid of box will cook 
and keep food hot 10 hours, if boiling 
water is used. I. M. koons.
